Efficacy of scalp acupuncture combined with conventional therapy in the intervention of post-stroke depression: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: While the effectiveness of SA combined with CT in treating PSD still requires further validation through rigorous randomized double-blind trials, this study provides a comprehensive collection of studies that meet the criteria for SA combined with CT in PSD treatment. It objectively and systematically evaluated the impact of SA combined with CT on PSD. Consequently, the findings of this study hold certain clinical significance.PMID:37619716 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctim.2023.102975

Effect of acupuncture combined with antidepressants on post-stroke depression: A network meta-analysis of nine acupuncture therapy
ConclusionA comparison of the efficacy indicators of the nine different acupuncture therapies combined showed that moxibustion plus antidepressants, conventional acupuncture plus antidepressants and acupressure plus antidepressants were superior in the treatment of PSD. Based on the shortcomings of the existing studies, this conclusion needs to be validated by additional high-quality randomized controlled trials.

Effect of Acupuncture Treatment on Post-stroke Depression by Using Diamond-Like Ultra-Thin Nano-Coating Technology
This study aimed to explore the effect of acupuncture on account of composite diamond-like nano-membrane sensors (DLNF) sensors on post-stroke depression. Titanium/antigen-diamond-like carbon (Ti/Ag-DLC) composite DLNF sensors were prepared by coating Ti and Ag composites on the surface of DLC by radio frequency magnetron sputtering technology. The scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), Raman spectrometer, nanoindenter, and sliding friction tester were adopted to analyze the characterization of Ti/Ag-DLC composite membrane, the chemical state of the main constituent elements on the surf...

A Narrative Review on the Non-Pharmacologic Interventions in Post-Stroke Depression
Psychol Res Behav Manag. 2022 Jul 7;15:1689-1706. doi: 10.2147/PRBM.S310207. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTStroke is a major cause of death and disability globally. Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a major driver for poor recovery and poor quality of life with extra burden for the patient and the caregiver. We have previously shown the inflammatory basis of PSD with associated bioenergetic failure, disruption of the blood-brain barrier, cell death, and persistent maladapted inflammation, making the PSD a norm rather than the exception, highlighting the unmet need for therapeutic intervention in PSD across the recovery trajectory...

Why Acupuncture Is Going Mainstream in Medicine
When the opioid addiction crisis began to surge in the U.S. about a decade ago, Dr. Medhat Mikhael spent a lot of time talking to his patients about other ways to heal pain besides opioids, from other types of medications to alternative treatments. As a pain management specialist at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Calif., he didn’t anticipate leaving behind the short-term use of opioids altogether, since they work so well for post-surgical pain. But he wanted to recommend a remedy that was safer and still effective. That turned out to be acupuncture. “Like any treatment, acupuncture...
